A look back at our Open Day at ANL Packaging Cahors.

In a context shaped by evolving regulations, rising consumer expectations, and the need to combine competitiveness with sustainability, we were delighted to welcome our customers and partners for a day of discussion, exchange and knowledge sharing.
PPWR, Extended Producer Responsibility schemes, artificial intelligence, product marketing and consumer perception: all key topics that are currently reshaping the packaging and food industries.
Beyond the presentations, the tour of our site provided a concrete illustration of how innovation, technical expertise and industrial excellence can help address the challenges of tomorrow.
Because the best solutions are built collectively, this day was a great opportunity to share experiences and imagine together the packaging solutions that will support the brands of tomorrow.
Thank you all!

Pink October 2026: somater takes action!

Because breast cancer prevention and screening remain essential, Somater is once again reaffirming its commitment to Pink October this year.
Throughout October, our teams will take part in a range of awareness, information and prevention initiatives across our different sites, in partnership with La Ligue contre le cancer.

Beyond the pink ribbon, there is a message we want to share collectively: stay informed, raise awareness and encourage screening.

This initiative fully reflects the values that bring us together: caring for our employees, acting responsibly and supporting causes that matter to us.

At Somater, we care!

Launch & Excellence in Partnership with L’Oréal!

somater is proud to have supported the teams of L’Oréal’s Luxury Division in the development of the new 250 ml CARITA bottle for the Hair Care range.

This project marks an important milestone for our teams: our first recyclable PET bottle produced using Extrusion Blow Moulding technology, designed to replace PETG, a material considered non-recyclable and disruptive to sorting and recycling streams.

This launch combines the aesthetic standards of a Luxury House, the industrial complexity associated with CARITA’s iconic bottle shape, and our commitment to developing more responsible and sustainable packaging solutions.

A great achievement made possible thanks to the trust of our partner L’Oréal and the dedication of our teams, who led this development with expertise, rigour and determination.

New launch Effaclar with L’Oréal!

Somater is proud to support the teams at L’Oréal – LDB Division in the launch of a new product from the La Roche-Posay Effaclar range.

This project once again demonstrates Somater’s ability to develop technical, aesthetic and functional packaging solutions for demanding brands.

The Effaclar bottle stands out through its practical and innovative design, combining a double-wall construction with a screen-printed finish, fully aligned with the brand’s high quality and image standards.

A great achievement made possible thanks to the trust of our partner L’Oréal and the commitment of our teams, who worked together to deliver this demanding and responsible project.

Luxury makeup launch with Clarins!

In the constantly evolving world of makeup, some launches mark a true milestone!

This is the case with the Skin Illusion All-in-One Concealer, developed in collaboration with the Groupe Clarins teams.

For this project, somater put its industrial expertise to work in the production of the upper part of the packaging as well as the wiper, two key components contributing to product performance, application precision and the overall user experience.

This development fully reflects our expertise: mastery of complex and technical injection-moulded parts, excellence in assembly, finishing partnerships, and the ability to deliver finished components meeting the highest quality standards of the luxury beauty industry.

Both elegant, high-performing and responsible, this packaging reflects a shared ambition: to enhance the product while integrating more sustainable choices.

A project we are particularly proud of, driven by the commitment, expertise and passion of our teams.

LESS IS MORE: somater simplifies to be more responsible!

ANL Packaging is proud to have supported MicroBioTests Inc. in the development and production of a new PET blister pack for its Microbiotests Toxkits, used worldwide to assess the toxicity of polluted aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Thanks to close collaboration between our teams, the packaging concept was simplified and optimized, reducing the number of components required to pack the test kit.
This approach notably made it possible to eliminate a polyurethane foam cushion, while maintaining the required level of product protection.

A concrete optimization that makes the packaging simpler, more efficient and more sustainable, while fully meeting the needs of our partner.
A big thank you to MicroBioTests Inc. for their trust, and congratulations to all the teams involved in this development!

Eco-design in action: a new innovation!

At somater, we have developed a new refillable solution designed around one simple principle: a lid, an insert, a jar—and as little material as possible.
The result is a lighter, refillable packaging solution designed to better meet the challenges of circularity.

This innovation makes it possible to:
♻️ significantly reduce packaging weight;
♻️ improve recyclability;
♻️ offer a genuine refill solution;
♻️ incorporate the percentage of recycled material required by each customer.

Less material. More circularity. More flexibility for our customers.
A concrete innovation supporting more responsible packaging.

Quality of Life and Working Conditions Week took place within the somater Group !

From June 15th to 19th, the Quality of Life and Working Conditions Week took place within the somater Group.

For this occasion, an awareness-raising initiative was rolled out across all teams, including videos and quizzes, to engage our employees around the 2026 theme: management.

This key moment reflects our ambition to make QWL a concrete, collective and long-term topic, serving both our employees and the company’s performance.

It was also an opportunity for some sites to lead local initiatives, such as at Somater Andeville, where teams shared enjoyable gourmet breaks!
